Title: Electronic timepieces
IPC: G04G5/00
Filed: 1974-09-19
Abstract: 1465565 Electronic timepieces SUWA SEIKOSHA KK 19 Sept 1974 [19 Sept 1973] 40966/74 Heading G3T An electronic watch having a digital electrooptical display is provided with manually operable switch means S 1  to S 4  Fig. 1 which are selectively operable - (i) to display the time of day, (ii) to correct the time indication and (iii) to regulate the running rate of the timepiece. Regulation is obtained by changing the effective division ratio of the frequency divider 1 by automatically adjusting the number of pulses fed to the divider 1 per unit time, the amount of adjustment of the running rate (i.e. "regulating quantity") being selectable by the switch means which also permits display of either the said "regulation quantity" or the time of day, as required. The divider output at <SP>1</SP>/ 60  Hz is applied to a minutes counter 4 which feeds an hours counter 5. The hours counter output O 5  is fed to a decoder driver 8 to operate the hours display while output O 4 ' of the minutes counter is fed to a decoder driver 7 for the minutes display via a selector circuit 6 controlled by the switch S 2 . A 6-bit binary counter 3 stores the amount of regulation required and which is written into it by operation of switch S 3  which applies a regulation determining signal a 3  thereto via an AND gate. A plurality (six) outputs O 1 ' of the divider 1 and a plurality of outputs 03 of the counter 3 are applied to a feedback circuit 2 comprising a plurality of gates as illustrated in Fig. la (not shown). If the outputs 03 are at logic "1" level the signals O 1 ' from the divider are added to the oscillator output f o  through a gate E. The resultant output I 1  of the gate is applied to the divider input. The effective division ratio is thus determined by the outputs O 3  of the counter. Upon switching S 2  to earth, the selector circuit 6 causes the time to be displayed and also causes gates OR 1 , OR 2  to open whereby correcting signals for the minutes and hours time displays can be applied, the correcting signals being produced by repeatedly operating switches S 3 , S 4  respectively. When S 2  is switched to positive, the selector circuit 6 causes the selected regulating quantity to be displayed as illustrated Fig. 3 (not shown). Switches S 1 , S 2  may be operated by a crown.

An indexing station for a conveyer having trollies 23, 27, 30, 32, 34 driven by a chain 21 through pairs of dogs 26, has a plurality of indexing positions, each position having (a) a pivoted arm 42 which is deflected, through counter-weight roller 43, by a trolley leaving the position, (b) a ramp 49 which is raised without raising chain 21 to lift the driving dogs 26, through roller 50, out of engagement with the front and rear of the trolley part 23, and (c) a stop 53 which is moved into the path of the trolley at the station, the arm 42, ramp 49 and stop 53 being operated simultaneously through linkage 45, 46, 47, 51, 52, the roller 43 biasing the linkage to retract ramp 49 and stop 53, a latch 54 engages a lever 55 fast with arm 42 to hold the linkage &c. in the set position in which a trolley entering an indexing position is stopped, the latch being released by an electromagnetic actuator 57 in all indexing positions except the most forward whereat the latch is released manually; a switch in every position, but the last, i.e. the most rearward, which is momentarily closed by deflection of arm 42 by a trolley leaving the position whereby the actuator 57 at the next preceding indexing position is actuated to release the next truck from said preceding position. The switch is actuated by deflection of arm 42 when a trolley leaves a position but is not operated on the return movement of the arm. A stop 58, Fig. 1, on track 22 is weighted to be raised to prevent reverse movement of a stopped trolley. When a trolley in the most forward position is released by manual release of latch 54 and ramp 49 and stop 53 are withdrawn so that dogs 26 engage and move the trolley, the trolley engages and raises roller 43 to raise arm 55 to engage latch 54 and so raise stop 53 and ramp 49; arm 42 operates the switch to actuate the actuator 57 in the next preceding position to release the next trolley, and so on. Specification 929,867 also is referred to.

Abstract: 1,133,248. Opening bales. MASCHINENFABRIK MEMMINGEN KG, ING. THEODOR OTTO. 20 Sept., 1966 [24 Nov., 1965], No. 41847/66. Heading DIN. A toothed device for lifting cotton or other fibrous material from a bale or the like has tube shaped teeth connected to a source of compressed air so that the air discharges from nozzles formed at the points of the teeth. As shown teeth 15 are mounted on rotatable hollow tubes 7, 8 (see also Fig. 1 not shown) carried in a frame consisting of a tube 1, and end plates 2. The frame 1, 2 is lifted by a device, not shown, over a bale. By means of pneumatic cylinder devices tubes 7, 8 are rotated so that the teeth are in a position 15' and frame 1, 2 is lowered. On approaching the bale a feeler engages its upper surface and operates a device so that compressed air is blown out of the ends of teeth 15. The frame is then lowered until the said feeler operates a switch to cause the teeth to be rotated back to their horizontal position taking a layer 27 with them. The frame is then moved over a depositing station and the fibres dropped. The operation can then be repeated. In an alternative form a single line of teeth only is provided. In Figs. 6 and 7 not shown, a device is shown whereby two sets of horizontal teeth brought into alignment are pushed into the side of a bale, the sets of teeth then being forced apart vertically so that the top set tears off a layer which can be taken away and deposited.
